Eighty years of Wearside fashion are packed into this fantastic gallery of photos and there’s a chance to enjoy even more scenes later this week.
Sunderland’s changing fashion scene is the topic of the latest illustrated talk given by Sunderland Antiquarian Society in its latest season.
It will be held on Thursday, June 18, and society secretary Philip Curtis is the speaker for the event at Bethany Hall in the Bede Tower in Ryhope Road.
Philip said: “Take a trip back to when the latest fashions were on view and on sale in the town. When Sunderland was the place to see and be seen. Join me in looking at the way your ancestors dressed through the decades for play and work. It should be a fascinating evening.”
All are welcome at the event which costs £2 for members and £3 for non-members. It starts at 7.30pm with doors opening at 6.40pm.
